lol i cant imagine playing gears on a dualshock controller.

but it should be on a blu ray disc, it would mean longer camppign better graphics u know.

Wait, what is that sound?

...

Oh, that's the sound of a Sony fan admitting that the Dualshock controller absolutely sucks ass for shooters. It only comes around once every third or fourth blue moon.

Meh, people may like the Dualshock for various reasons but after using more controllers than I can count over the past 25+ years, anyone who argues that the Dualshock is a good controller for shooter games needs to be punched in the head and then sent to retard school for at least six months. Any controller that has a problem with your thumbs smacking together when you hit strafe right+aim left is not good for shooters. End of story.


Your views on the dualshock controller are your own personal opinion. Incredibly, you seem to be of the belief that if others don't share this opinion with you, they are "retards".

It's difficult to take any part of your comment seriously, it comes across as defensive, hollow, and presumptuous.


The DS2 physically has limitations while playing a twitch game like a shooter. That alone takes it out of the running as a good controller for shooters. The analogs are too close together and the alignment of the d-pad in place of the analog make it an inferior controller for some games.


Limitations?

The DS2 does not limit me while I play shooters.

I play shooters on the PS3, the 360 and the PC quite regularly. None of the controlles for any system "limit" me.

Perhaps, were I unfamiliar with one of the controllers, I would be limited somewhat (in the beginning) as my fingers became accustomed to the new shape.

I've played shooters using the N64 controller, the huge original Xbox controllers, the later redesigned Xbox controllers, the 360 controllers, the DS1 and DS2 controllers and a keyboard and mouse.

All the controllers are responsive, effective, and viable controllers for playing FPS. (Apart from the original Xbox controller, now that had limitations).

"the analogues are too close together" Why? Do you have huge thumbs or something?

"the alignment of the d-pad...make it an inferior..." - For what games exactly?
